Starting a week on wednesday ( 19th Jan) we are going to run a few silver fish matches every wed on the main match lake at Hemmington ( Rycroft).
This is just until the beginning of March. ( i expect the usual wednesday matches will start up again then on the Moat and Clover)

It will be float only( waggler allowed, no pole length restriction), no carp, no bait restrictions.
Draw 9 am fish 10-15 to 3-15.


I have also booked the same lake on Saturday 5th and Sat 12th of Feb again as silver fish matches, float only.

Max of 24 pegs so as to leave corners out

results of our match today.

1st J Stevenson 18lb 5oz

2nd J Le Bosquet 16lb 5oz

3rd D Smith ( W S) 11lb 11oz

4th D Slaymaker 10lb 3oz

5th 9lb 3oz

6th 8lb 10oz

7th 8lb 7oz
8th 6lb 11oz
9th 6lb 3oz
10th 5lb 14oz

cracking match considering a really hard frost last night and it si still january. Anglers caught on a variety of methods. worm and joker, choppy, maggot, pellet. mostly roach, odd Perch and skimmer.

If we can keep a bit of interest this winter I'll start them earlier next winter. Already had requests for a silvers league. Beats the carp bingo and guarantees bites.

Must be honest it's been nice not to have the monotony of carping and winning not just being down to drawing.

( blimey Joff, Dodge, Woodhouse et al will think I've been on drugs with me enjoying silver fishing!!!!! lolololol )

joking aside it's been brilliant.

Might be looking to tap you up for a bit of info in April Crafty Tafty - we are on Moat on 16th April

yeah, no problem. just give me a shout.( I'm getting on, i'll forget otherwise lol

Ta

Next match is on wednesday ( 26th Jan)

draw 9am, fish 10-15 till 3-15, £20 all in.

Andy could I fish mate, please !!

Yeah, definitely mate.
It's difficult in the week for people cos of work, but if you know anyone else give us a shout


(Bout time we saw Joffy, I'm going down today but I don't think it'll be froze)

Never been before Andy, if I come through Castle Donnington passed availiable cars where do I go from there ? Also what are the depths like and will I catch on B and J plus casters ? cheers pal.

come down past available cars and keep going till you come to the big island over the A50. take the 5th exit, that is the one before the road you are on, signposted Hemmington.
Then go down about 1/4 mile and you'll see it on the left, just past the first couple of houses.

if you get lost my mobile is 07709338595

yeah, you'll catch on B and j and casters, chopworm too

there'll not be that many, some are governed by work/ shifts etc but if i can get a bit of interest hopefully we can do better next winter

Thanks Andy look forward to meeting up again !

TAFF I'VE PAST YOUR NUMBER one to a couple who want to fish sadly i won't be fishing Wednesday originally i thought they were thursdays
i have to pick the kids up wednesdays :-/if i can sort things out i will i really fancy it i been talking to don about it

cheers matey, the one's the other guy ran were one thursday a month but that's not easy for me to do.

Hope you can make it and I've been asked about a league next winter so I'll keep you posted.

I'll e mail you the posters I've done and if you'll pass a couple round for me that would be good

I just wish they made bloodworm bigger so I could see to hook them better!!!!!!!!!!

THATS EASY TRY RUSSIAN JOKER mind-you we had some really good polish stuff this weekend and I've still got it as i drew next but one to where i did in the first round and won the section with 11oz it was the worest section in the match yet again

Results of todays match. Not so many there today but some really good weights

1st Kristian Powers 30lb 4oz skimmers/roach Bloodworm/caster

2nd Andy Taft 27lb 5oz skimmers/roach , caster

3rd Rob Wootton 20lb 10oz roach/skimmers

4th A Higginbotham 17lb 2oz

5th M Roberts 13lb 2oz

These are some results of the latest match I had last saturday. Wind was horrendous but fished brilliant despite the conditions

I pegged all round the cafe bank.( 2 to 14 plus peg 30) I drew peg 6 which i wouldn't really have liked to put in under normal conditions, but that was tuff on me cos I pegged it.
Rob Wooton won with 32lb off peg 10, mostly Roach, couple of skimmers and perch on caster, some real quality roach.
2nd was Stu Naylor with 25lb off peg 11, caster again, but with some big Perch as well as Roach and a couple of skimmers.
3rd was Ian Robinson with 20lb off peg 2, 4 skimmers plus roach, caster again.
Andy Beesley was 5th was 16lb, 4 skimmers plus around 60 roach
6th 14lb, then 2 11lb's.

Most fish caught on caster over joker, short although a few skimmers caught long, although the skimmers didn't really feed ( so why I ask myself did I spend 4 hours trying to catch them and when I went on my short line I caught Roach!! Doh)

The next one is this saturday coming and I hope the weather isa bit calmer so I can spread the pegs round a bit.

Be nice to get up to the 20 mark of anglers fishing.

If anyone's interested give me a shout
